Amazon user experience

It's disheartening when you try not to harbor negative feelings towards someone, but their actions make it challenging. This little rant is regarding my recent experiences with Amazon. As a loyal Amazon customer, Amazon has always been my first choice for online shopping. However, my relationship with Amazon has been deteriorating over the past few months. Contacting Customer Service Firstly, Amazon, why is it so difficult to contact you for an order-related query? Why do I have to hunt furiously for the CTA every time I need to reach customer service? And if my query remains unresolved, I have to go through the entire process again, explaining my issue from scratch. It’s quite disappointing to experience this from such a massive giant. Delivery Executives and Sellers Doorstep Delivery? Prime Membership? What is the relevance of these when they do not apply to "Prime Members"? Yes, my home is on the 4th floor without elevator service (I’m not a privileged citizen, living in Bangalore). I understand the challenges delivery executives face climbing all four floors to deliver a product. I occasionally go downstairs to collect my order whenever possible. However, last week, when I was sick with a fever and confined to my bed, I asked the delivery executive to bring the package to the 4th floor. A few minutes later, I received a message that the delivery attempt had failed. I tried to contact the delivery person, but my call was cut off. I called Amazon customer support, and they assured me the delivery would be re-attempted and necessary actions would be taken. The next day, I received a call from the delivery executive. Unfortunately, I was in a meeting and asked for the delivery to be made to my door again. The same scenario repeated. Do you all think the Amazon user experience is transparent? Can anyone help me how I can contact their customer service executive.

Myntra exploiting their Designers

After reading the recent #Amazon post and people being truly open about it. I'd like to highlight what me and my Myntra colleagues at the same level faced. The level of emotional and mental harassment I went through was extreme. 9-5 extending till 9am to 11pm, i.e 12+ hrs everyday with no incentives, often my manager would ask me to connect at 12:30 a.m. assign tasks and say, complete this atleast by morning. Even on days when we're in-office till 10:30 at night working on displays and whatnot, after completion they'd say now go home and work on concepts, which is insane, work when? Most often our weekends would get consumed in work too as there's always, always something urgent everyday to prevent you from taking offs. It wouldn't be coming off as a surprise if people are saying they haven't slept for 3 nights straight, because they'd say so have I. All that at a package of 5.35 LPA, it's ridiculous. One thing I really hated during WFH days was MEETINGS DURING LUNCH/DINNER TIME, after a few weeks when it became repetitive, I started saying, but it didn't stop as they would smartly schedule those at pre-lunchtime so no one can deny as it's not lunch yet, then it'll stretch till 3 or 4. Then after a point I started bringing this up in mid conversation in meetings saying "Is it alright if we continue this post lunch? I need to go have lunch" and the same will happen during dinner. They'd say "go quickly have something and connect afterwards". No appreciation for all the hardwork, sleepless nights. So, started keeping healthy boundaries, politely refusing to work on weekends, letting her know I've appointments or I'm cleaning my room or doing laundry today which they used as a way to gaslight me by saying "you disappear on weekends, what's wrong with you now, you used to work fine, seems like you don't want to work here anymore, please be there this weekend and do this". I was still committing to their 9-5 stretching till 8 evening tho.
